Getting the 2026 Summer Fridays drop in China is actually quite easy

March 07, 2026

The hype around the Summer Fridays Spring 2026 collection

The beauty community in China has been buzzing about the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm (Spring 2026 Limited Edition). This year, the brand released two exclusive seasonal shades—'Lavender Mist' and 'Guava Glow'—alongside a value set that is currently making waves across social media platforms like RED (Xiaohongshu). While these products eventually make their way to local resellers, the markup is usually massive. Buying directly from the US ensures you get the authentic product at the original retail price, which is why so many enthusiasts are looking at us trends to see what is dropping next.

How to buy directly from US stores

Most fans target the official Summer Fridays website or Sephora US to grab these limited editions before they sell out. To do this, you need a tax-free us address. By using a package forwarding service, you can have your lip balms sent to a warehouse in a sales-tax-free state like Oregon. This immediately saves you around 7-10% on the purchase price compared to shipping to a standard US address.

The BuyForMe solution for difficult US retailers

One common myth is that you can't shop at Sephora or other big US brands because they don't like international credit cards. It is a frequent headache for shoppers in China when a store like Sephora, Nike, or Apple declines an order because the billing address doesn't match a US card. Sometimes they even block orders sent to a known freight forwarder.

The safest way to handle this is through comGateway's BuyForMe service. Instead of struggling with a declined transaction, you tell comGateway what you want to buy. They use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on your behalf. This significantly reduces the risk of your order being cancelled and is the most reliable method for securing high-demand items like the Spring 2026 Lip Butter Balm before they go out of stock.

Shipping your haul to China

Once your items arrive at the warehouse, you can use an international shipping service to get them to China. If you are buying more than just lip balms—perhaps some other Spring 2026 beauty drops—you can consolidate multiple packages into one box. This is usually much cheaper than shipping everything separately. Before you finalize your order, it is a good idea to check the list of prohibited items to ensure that specific aerosols or high-alcohol perfumes in your cart are allowed for transit.

Estimating shipping costs and import duties

People often worry that shipping costs will be higher than the product itself. You can easily get a clear picture by using a shipping calculator to see what the rates look like for a small parcel. Since lip balms are lightweight, they are perfect for international shipping.

Regarding import duties, China has specific thresholds for personal imports. Being aware of the current customs tax regulations helps you avoid unexpected fees at the border. Generally, keeping your package value within the personal use limit is the best way to ensure a smooth delivery to your doorstep in 2026.
